Rated 130 after five runs over fences without winning; beaten favourite at Cork on handicap chase debut (2m1f, good to yielding); 25l behind in a big-field Listed handicap chase here last time; needs to raise his game but could be best placed to take advantage if the top-rated disappoints.

Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was in the process of running a cracker when returning from 745 days off on his chasing debut at Wexford before falling at the last; pulled a long way clear with one other at Roscommon 13 days later when runner-up (2m1f, soft); this is another run relatively quickly but he looks like he has improved for fences.

Went close on chase bow here (2m) in June (Nadia's Boy and Scalpnagoon behind) but unseated back here next time and out of depth in hot 2m2f Galway beginners' chase on latest; this looks less demanding, this longer trip will suit and he is a leading contender with rider claiming valuable 7lb.
